Mari Broman, LMSW

Mari Broman is a licensed clinical social worker with 36 years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She works with adults who struggle with self-esteem, career pressures, relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions, and attention-related challenges. Mari focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day to feel steadier and more clear-headed.

Her sessions emphasize listening first and then building strategies that fit each person's life. She blends client-centered conversation with tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. That means clients talk through what matters most, notice thought and behavior patterns, and try small, doable changes between sessions.

Mari draws on long experience supporting people with mood disorders, bipolar conditions, and complex emotional reactions. She also helps with caregiving stress, aging concerns, blended family issues, and separation or divorce. Her work aims to make emotional problems easier to manage rather than overwhelming.

In practice she uses motivational interviewing to clarify goals and psychodynamic ideas to understand repeating relationship patterns. Sessions are conversational and focused on what will change a person's everyday habits and thinking. Mari encourages steady progress through short-term goals and ongoing reflection.

She is based in Michigan and holds an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker. Prospective clients who want to explore whether her style fits are invited to begin with a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client, helping people feel understood and guiding them to set their own goals. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping because it offers clear strategies to try between meetings.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices so people can notice feelings without being swept away. That can reduce reactivity and help with stress and anger in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans over time. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to keep using.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that focus on skill practice or quick problem-solving when needed.
